Better In The South [Guest Blogger]

Happy Wednesday lovelies! Today, another one of my bloggy friends is here to show you some adorable (and affordable) dresses! I know that hump day is sometimes the hardest to get through, so what better way to get through the day, than to look at some cute clothes and get to know a new blogger?? Here's Dayna!
--------------------

Happy Hump Day all of you Sweet Life readers!! Dayna here visiting from Pearls, Curls & All Things Southern,  formally A Bama Belle and A Bucket List! If you have never stopped by my blog, I’ll fill you in on a quick snippet of myself.

I live in the heart of Alabama where the tea is sweet and the Bama Belles are sweeter. I live for wine, dessert time, football season and warm weather. It’s rare to see me in shorts or jeans during the summer time, mainly because Bama summers are so intensely hot that you’d swear Hell would be cooler.

Don’t believe me?

Bam!

 You read that correctly, one hundred and twelve degrees. Thank goodness for swimming pools, dresses and A/C or I don’t know how us Alabamians would manage! Speaking of dresses, I thought I would share with you lovely ladies some of the adorable and affordable summer dresses I’ve found so far this year from some of my favorite places to shop for clothes: Old Navy, Lulus.com and Adabelles.com! After all, wearing dresses as often as possible is part of the perk of being a Southern Belle! Throw some pearls on with that dress and you’re good to go!!

 Try to tell me those aren’t fab dresses?! I’m now working on getting one of each in my closet..

So ladies, which of these dresses could you see yourself in?! It’s hard to choose, I know! Be sure to check out the websites to see all the other goodies they have!

Hope your Wednesday is going good for you!

 --------------------

I totally agree, dresses tend to carry me through the summer months too.
Thank you SO much for stopping by Dayna! You really know your way around a good deal and a cute look! Can't wait to get my hands on a few of them! Be sure to check out Dayna's blog and show her some love : )

Day Of Love + [Guest Blogger]

Happy Valentine's Day ladies!

A few of the sweet-tart hearts from our plethora of Vday candy!

You didn't think that just because I'm away on vacation I would leave my favorite readers without something [sweet] to read, did you? Today, one of my favorite bloggy friends [Amanda] is here to sweeten up your day with a little Valentine's Day love!
----------------------
Hey all! I'm Amanda from Simple Girl, Simple Pleasures. Ashley and I met via Leslie's link-up for pen pals. And we've become fast friends writing each other back and forth. It turns out that we have endless things in common, including formerly being in LDRs (long distance relationships). Yes, my LDR will end as of this Friday!


While Ashley is away, I'm here to say hello, and happy Valentine's day!

Today is a day that I absolutely love! Not because I have a boyfriend and am in a happy, healthy relationship, but because it's a day of love. And it's a great day to remind all of the people you love and care for, how much you truly love them. At least that's how I view it.


Yes, I'll dress in red or pink, and be overly peppy. But that's only because, since I was little, my parents were my sister and I's Valentines. We didn't have to a boyfriend to feel the love. And I've continued to send my love to them, and to my closest girl friends, since I realized how much those three small words can do.

Many people view the day as just another overly-hyped holiday created by Hallmark, but I don't agree. I think it's just a day that you can share and show some extra kindness and emphasis on love, who you love, and what love is all about.

How do you view Valentine's day? Do you love the holiday? Hate it? Don't care about it?


I'm wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day and lots of love! Thanks for having me, Ashley!

Isn't she sweet! I absolutely agree with her...it's important to show your favorite people exactly that--that they are your favorite! Thanks SO much for taking care of my readers today, Amanda! Be sure to visit her blog and show her some love this Valentine's day!
